Queen of Puddings Music Theatre 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES   Toronto’s Queen of Puddings Music Theatre burst onto the arts scene in 1995 with its forward-thinking, absorbing, fantastical approach to the tradition we know as classical opera. Created by John Hess and Dáirine Ní Mheadhra, it was born of their desire to blend their extensive creative knowledge and vision with a performer-based physical singing theatre aesthetic to produce original Canadian chamber opera.   From its auspicious beginning, Queen of Puddings has consistently produced provocative, dramatic presentations of the highest quality that have moved audiences beyond their expectations and challenged the parameters of the opera genre.   Spectacular company successes include Beatrice Chancy, the opera that launched the career of acclaimed Canadian soprano Measha Brüggergosman and most recently, The Midnight Court that premiered at Harbourfront Centre Theatre and went on tour to the prestigious Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.   Other new operas in development include Ines, developed around Toronto Fadista Catarina Cardeal.   Nathalie Bonjour, artistic producer 416-203-4149 queenofpuddings2@bellnet.ca
